Legislators from Aurora will know this week whether their request to change the name of the Anschutz Medical Campus will be considered.

The legislators met with the University of Colorado Board of Regents on Tuesday to discuss changing the name to something that recognizes its location in Aurora.

State Sens. Suzanne Williams and Nancy Spence, and Reps. Nancy Todd and Karen Middleton have been working with the city’s leadership groups to change the name since regents approved the University of Colorado Denver label for the campus in October.

Spence is a Centennial Republican while the other three are Aurora Democrats.

A proposal by Regents chairwoman Pat Hayes, who is from Aurora, to address the issue with the city’s residents was met with skepticism.
